Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Your choice of food and drinks
- How long we are needed on site
- How many staff you need
- Distance and access to the venue
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- The venue or postcode
- Expected numbers
- A picture of where we’d park
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.
Planners, venues and businesses
Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
Planning drinks for every guest
Some planning tips for the drinks:
- Ask guests about allergies
- Make sure drivers have good choices
- Plan transport home for guests
- Let us know how many non-drinkers to expect
We adapt if the timings shift.

West Marden questions
Do you cater in the South Downs National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Do you come out to small places like West Marden?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
What’s on the menu?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Can children have drinks from the bar?
Every bar has alcohol-free choices, from aguas frescas to soft drinks.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
Can you plan for allergies?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Can you come to a private house?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a photo and we will talk it through.
Can we have the bar on its own?
Yes. Book the bar on its own.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
